This game has evalved into more than a flight simulator with the addition of GVs and CVs. lets throw in the last major aspect of WWII, Infantry. Let us be Infantry, give us Tommy Guns and M1 Garrands Colt .45s and Bazookas and throw us into a town so we can duke it out against the other players. We could pick a guy in the hanger, and a weapon set of a Bazooka for hitting tanks and a pistol for other Infantry people, or Tommy guns, Springfield 1903's, MP45s. I have played against other people in Chutes, IT ROCKS. It wouldnt take much coding, I dont think. they dont have to be detailed, just change the uniforms like skins on planes and weapon sets like those of the planes. It would be like being a chute, only youll have more options and dont have to take a plane. It could be made that us as Infantry can take a base just like the computer troops. We could have People in jeeps drop us off places, have it say XXXXX landed 7 victories as a commando. Even more things for planes to strafe and tanks to shoot. It would be Great guys.

WWII Online offers all of this.

However, I don't think it'd be a good aspect to offer here in AH2.

I dont want to play WWII Online. I want to play Aces High. They would have nothing to lose by adding it to AH2. It would be another selling point for new people, and another fun option for all of us who have been playing for a while. There is no other game out there that has the same magnetic feel as AH2.

yes they would, they would lose the playerbase.

AH doesnt want 10 yr old kids with no credit card diluting the game community with leetspeak and inaudibly high voices on vox. seriously, if you like AH as it is now, adding FPS would totally ruin it.

if you want ground war go play COD or WW2OL, but not in AH please

AH2 already has a FPS in it

Its called "bailed pilot"

So whats to say CT what draw in this same exact crowd? HT has said that CT is specifically targeting a new crowd and player base.......

and yea, I hate hearing 10 year old kids squeek on the radio, but the simple solution is to squelch...(please add perma squelch HTC)....That said, there is nothing wrong with new players....Just because "we saw the band first, and own the t-shirt" doesnt mean it is exclusive to us, and anyone who hasnt joined past AHV2.08 patch 1 cant be part of the club

I regularly find myself harassing OSTIES with my little ol 45 when they shoot my prettythang down over a base.

If you use the run key you can strafe faster than their turret can turn (alomost) and have a great old time plinking them as the shoot at your buddies LOL......

lol sounds like fun....but honestly I think it'l be another 5 years before the staff even THINKS about adding something like that.... then IT'll be another 2 years for them to actually put it in the game so I would stop thinking about it if I were ya..but it sounds like a good idea though.... If anything it will be introduced in the year 2026 in AH VI

How bout instead of troop fights we can add submarines and U-boats to go along with the cv's..I think that sounds more realistic

I believe Hitech made comments a while back talking about his interest in developing subs in the future...That said, I dont think its a very high priority for the staff, but atleast their thinking about it...

There enuff younger kids runing around with out adding fps, it wont change the type f player that comes to the game it will just let the game grow and get that hardcore fps crowd. They should do fps, ww2 wasnt fought only in the air, and if this was a pure air combat game there wouldnt be gvs. With the new maps from tour of duty nice big citys i think u need to have tanks and troops fightin it out on the streets. They added a "jeep", this thing would rock if we had fps, it would be just like the halo truck. It could speed in guns blazing. If u guys think that its goin to invite a bad crowd i would worry, it can only get better. Then maybe instead of eing captured u could just grab a gun and keep fightin or jump on the 50 cal on the jeep and fight ur way home.
